Shadow Shot Sunday: Broadway Malls
April 25, 2010 | Filed Under Broadway Malls, City Streets and Sidewalks, Nature in NYC, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Shadow Shot Sunday, Shadows | 14 Comments
Despite the name Broadway Malls, you can see, this is not a shopping mall on Broadway. The Broadway Malls is a landscaped median strip, stretching from 60th street to 168th street on Broadway. You’ll find benches, plants, trees, birds and sometimes an occassional squirrel. It’s a place where New Yorkers can enjoy a little bit of nature and their surroundings.
On this sunny day, a pattern of shadows also decorated this section of the Broadway Malls — a perfect shot for Shadow Shot Sunday.

On a Snowy Day

Actually, there remains little snow since the rain came and washed most of it away. On a snowy day, the bench remains empty.
Have a good Saturday.

Ecological Day: Broadway Malls
November 1, 2009 | Filed Under Broadway Malls, City Streets and Sidewalks, Ecological Day, Environment, Nature in NYC, Photo Blogging Theme Day | 6 Comments
The Broadway Malls is a landscaped median strip that stretches down Broadway from 60th to 168th Street. Flowering trees, shrubs, plants, flowers like tulips, daffodils, muscari are planted and maintained yearly and benches are provided for people to sit, relax and enjoy their New York City surroundings from the middle of a busy New York street. I’ve posted photos of the malls several times before (You can see one example of an earlier post here). People and birds, even the squirrels enjoy it. It’s a good place to enjoy a little bit of nature in the city.
This is my post for ECOLOGICAL DAY, a photo blogging theme day started by Sonia of Leaves of Grass. It falls on the second day of each month. We only have one Earth. Let’s enjoy and treat it right.

Nothing Like a Good Book
August 3, 2009 | Filed Under Broadway Malls, Chronicles of a NYC Bench, City Streets and Sidewalks, New Yorkers | 14 Comments
There’s nothing like a good book to make you forget where you are. In this woman’s case, she’s sitting in the middle of the street (a part of the Broadway Malls), with cars whizzing by on either side of her and pedestrians crossing the street, back and forth in front of her. There’s so much action going on around but looking at the lady, one can see that she’s totally engrossed in the world of her book and mentally removed from her physical surroundings.
